Chapter 108: Side Story 4 – A Pet, Not a Partner

Seeing her little dog looking at her pitifully, Lu Zijin’s heart softened slightly.

She poked the small gland with her fingertip and instructed, “Don’t let it happen again.”

“I understand.”

Wei Lan sniffled, her eyes red as she looked obediently at Lu Zijin.

 

Seeing her little dog was being good, Lu Zijin leaned in and kissed Wei Lan’s cheek, leaving a lipstick mark.

 

Wei Lan’s eyes lit up, and she was immediately appeased.

Who could blame her, when Lu Zijin was the person she liked?

 

Seeing her little dog like this, Lu Zijin’s heart itched a little.

She took a tissue from her bag.

“Your lipstick is all smeared, bad dog.”

 

Called a ‘bad dog’, Wei Lan wasn’t angry.

She just looked at Lu Zijin with a smile, her gaze burning.

If it was for Lu Zijin, she was willing to be her dog.

 

Seeing her little dog still smiling, Lu Zijin reached out and poked Wei Lan’s nose.

Then she carefully wiped the lipstick mark off Wei Lan’s cheek with the tissue.

 

After wiping Wei Lan’s cheek, she took her own lip gloss out of her bag.

“Use mine, okay?”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan wrapped her arms around Lu Zijin’s waist and obediently tilted her head back, waiting for Lu Zijin to apply it.

 

Seeing her little dog so obedient, the corners of Lu Zijin’s mouth lifted.

She applied some lip gloss to Wei Lan’s pink lips, then used her fingertip to gently press and spread it.

 

Looking down, Lu Zijin could see her little dog’s eyes.

Her little dog’s eyes were full of her.

Good.

That was the effect she wanted.

 

Lu Zijin leaned in and kissed Wei Lan’s small gland.

“So good.

Don’t wipe off the lipstick mark there.”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan obediently nodded.

 

Lu Zijin was very satisfied with her little dog’s behavior.

The anger that had built up earlier because Wei Lan called someone else ‘sister’ had completely dissipated.

 

But Lu Zijin didn’t get off Wei Lan’s lap either.

Wasn’t her little alpha’s lap meant for her to sit on?

She put her arms around Wei Lan’s neck, her fingertip occasionally tapping on Wei Lan’s small gland.

 

Wei Lan was sensitive.

Every time the small gland was touched, fresh snow pheromones would leak out.

“Sister, if you keep touching, I won’t have any strength left.”

Wei Lan looked at Lu Zijin and obediently acted spoiled.

“That won’t do.

Aren’t you only twenty?

That’s the prime age for energy.

How can you lose strength so easily?”

Lu Zijin touched Wei Lan’s cheek and teased her, in a very good mood.

“I’ll try harder.”

Wei Lan replied dryly.

But every time her small gland was played with, she just lost her strength.

 

Lu Zijin sat like this for a while, feeling a bit tired.

She snuggled further into Wei Lan, her chest area right in front of Wei Lan’s face.

 

Wei Lan couldn’t help herself.

She secretly leaned in and took a sniff, her nose filled with Lu Zijin’s fragrance.

 

Lu Zijin naturally noticed Wei Lan’s action.

She reached out and pinched Wei Lan’s earlobe, playing with it, and laughed.

“Where is my perverted little dog sniffing?”

“Nowhere.

I accidentally brushed against it.”

Wei Lan defended herself softly, her ear tips turning red.

 

Lu Zijin smiled and pinched Wei Lan’s earlobe.

Her little dog was still young; her ears turned red whenever she told a lie.

But her little dog’s ears were quite fun to play with, soft to the pinch.

 

While Lu Zijin was playing with Wei Lan in the back seat, the driver wished she could go deaf.

Although the partition could block some sound, being so close, she could still hear.

 

The main issue was the sheer volume of information.

She was afraid of being ‘silenced’ by Lu Zijin.

The usually formidable President Lu at the company, who knew she liked to play like this in private?

She could only try to minimize her presence, hoping the two people in the back would pretend she didn’t exist.

 

And from the sound of it, their President Lu was quite jealous, not even allowing her little alpha to call someone else ‘sister’.

Zhou Xiao quickly shook her head, not daring to overthink.

 

Soon, the car drove back to Lu Zijin’s villa.

Lu Zijin looked at the little alpha beneath her.

Her little alpha’s face still had her lipstick marks, and the small gland on her neck was covered with either teeth marks or lipstick marks.

 

Lu Zijin didn’t bother to cover them up.

They were home anyway, and it was a good way to let the staff know about her relationship with her little dog.

 

Lu Zijin got off Wei Lan’s lap, opened the car door, and got out.

She smiled and waved at Wei Lan.

“Home.”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan acknowledged and got out of the car.

 

Zhou Xiao was about to say something when she saw the alpha getting out of the back – her face had several lipstick marks, and even her gland area was covered in teeth marks.

Zhou Xiao froze, unable to speak.

 

It was Lu Zijin who glared at her first.

“What?

Something else?”

“No, nothing.

President Lu, I’ll go park the car.”

Zhou Xiao said quickly and hurried off.

 

Lu Zijin then took Wei Lan’s hand and led her towards the villa.

Seeing how cute Wei Lan’s lipstick-marked face and the teeth marks on her small gland were, Lu Zijin pushed Wei Lan down onto the sofa.

“Sit still.”

 

Wei Lan obediently cooperated with Lu Zijin’s movements.

“Sister, what are you doing?”

“Nothing.

Just taking a photo as a keepsake.”

With that, she took a picture of Wei Lan on her phone.

 

In the photo, the little alpha looked at her innocently, her face scattered with a few lipstick marks, and the small gland on her neck was swollen.

Lu Zijin was very satisfied and saved the photo.

Then she made a post on her Moments.

 

She thought for a moment, but only posted a text version.

Her little dog was so cute; of course, she couldn’t let others see her like this.

[Lu Zijin: My new little dog is so cute.

Her little face is all smeared with lipstick from kisses, and she’s still obediently wagging her tail~]

In no time, the comments poured in.

[Aren’t you a germaphobe?

You’d kiss a dog?]

[What kind of dog makes you like it this much?

Show us?]

[Yeah, yeah.

Dying of curiosity.

Post it already.]

Lu Zijin was very satisfied with these comments.

Of course, she would never post the photo.

Her little dog was hers alone.

 

Lu Zijin sat down next to Wei Lan and reached out to touch her cheek.

“The newly arrived shrimp is very tender.

Eat plenty later.

You have work to do tonight.”

 

Lu Zijin deliberately emphasized the word ‘work’, and sure enough, saw her little alpha’s face turn red with shyness.

“Oh, are you shy?”

Lu Zijin deliberately lifted Wei Lan’s chin and asked.

 

Wei Lan was really shy.

She quickly buried her face in Lu Zijin’s shoulder.

“Sister, don’t tease me.”

 

Lu Zijin reached out and rubbed Wei Lan’s hair, coaxing softly.

“Alright, I won’t tease my little dog.

So good.”

 

With that, Lu Zijin even kissed the top of Wei Lan’s head.

 

She was lucky.

The first time she kept a little dog, she found one that suited her tastes so well.

 

The two had dinner together, then went upstairs to bathe separately.

With last night’s experience, Wei Lan wasn’t as nervous.

She bathed quickly.

 

After blow-drying her hair, she obediently went to the next room to wait for Lu Zijin.

 

Lu Zijin came out after her bath and saw her little alpha lying on the bed, waiting for her with pleading eyes.

 

Her gaze deepened.

She walked slowly to the bedside, deliberately lifting the hem of her slip dress as she approached.

Then she saw Wei Lan’s ear tips turn red.

 

Her little dog was so shy.

Just looking at her legs, her face turned red.

 

Lu Zijin got into bed, snuggled up to Wei Lan, and deliberately brought her leg close to Wei Lan’s face, asking with a smile, “Like it?”

 

Wei Lan’s nose twitched.

Her sister’s legs smelled so good too.

She swallowed and said, “Yes.

So fragrant.”

 

Lu Zijin pinched Wei Lan’s cheek a few times.

“Bad dog.

Say ‘sister’ and you’ll get a reward.”

 

Wei Lan’s eyes lit up.

“Sister!”

 

The smile on Lu Zijin’s face grew even wider.

She pressed her little dog’s head towards her leg.

She wanted her little dog to be unable to leave her.

 

Sure enough, Wei Lan happily kissed it a few times.

Her sister’s body was too fragrant; she absolutely loved it.

 

Feeling it was enough, Lu Zijin pushed Wei Lan’s head away.

She patted the spot beside her hand.

“Come lie down.”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan obediently moved closer and lay down.

 

As soon as she lay down, Lu Zijin skillfully straddled her.

She had done it yesterday, so it would be hard not to be skilled.

Besides, her little dog was meant to be ridden by her.

 

Lu Zijin leaned down and kissed Wei Lan’s cheek to soothe her, and saw Wei Lan’s ear tips turn red.

She smiled and rubbed Wei Lan’s face, revealing the small gland, still bearing the teeth marks she had left.

 

Lu Zijin’s gaze deepened.

She leaned in and kissed it.

Wei Lan’s red ear tips trembled.

“Sister, don’t bite.

It hurts and itches.”

 

Seeing her little dog was afraid, Lu Zijin kissed it again, then coaxed softly, “Be good.

It won’t hurt.

I’ll be gentle.”

 

With that, she kissed Wei Lan’s cheek a few more times.

Wei Lan was completely captivated, only knowing to obey.

 

Then Lu Zijin bit down.

A large surge of fresh snow pheromones spilled out.

She heard her little dog’s distressed whimper but didn’t let go.

As if in punishment, she bit again.

 

This time, Wei Lan was directly bitten to tears.

She wasn’t being delicate; Sister was using too much force.

Her small gland must be broken open.

 

Lu Zijin sucked for a good while.

Only when the initial rush of pleasure subsided did she hear that her little dog seemed to be crying.

 

Lu Zijin pulled back slightly and saw that the small gland was now deflated, and where she had bitten, there was some bleeding.

Wei Lan was pitifully shedding tears, looking thoroughly bullied.

 

Lu Zijin immediately felt sorry for her.

Her little dog was in pain from the bite.

 

She quickly leaned in and kissed Wei Lan’s cheek, coaxing her.

“What’s wrong?

Did the bite hurt?

I’m sorry.

I got too carried away.

Why didn’t you push me away?”

 

Wei Lan pressed her lips together.

Seeing that Lu Zijin liked it, she couldn’t bear to push her away.

“No… it’s nothing.”

Even as she said it was nothing, a few teardrops fell from her eyes.

 

Lu Zijin saw that she had indeed broken her little dog’s gland skin.

The gland was a pretty important part.

She hadn’t just broken her little dog of two days, had she?

 

Thinking this, Lu Zijin quickly called her private doctor.

“Come to the Garden Villa.”

Lu Zijin said into the phone, stroking Wei Lan’s hair to soothe her.

“The little dog’s been bitten and is bleeding.”

 

Doctor Lin replied, very annoyed, “I’m a doctor for humans, not a veterinarian.”

“It is a human.

My newly kept little puppy is injured.

Come take a look at her.”

Lu Zijin said.

 

Doctor Lin hadn’t expected that kind of dog.

She replied dryly, “Fine.

I’ll be there in a while.”

“Mm.”

Lu Zijin hung up and wiped Wei Lan’s tears.

“Don’t cry.

Next time, I’ll be gentler, okay?”

She leaned in and kissed Wei Lan’s cheek again.

 

Wei Lan sniffled and nodded at Lu Zijin.

 

Twenty minutes later, Doctor Lin arrived at Lu Zijin’s villa gate.

She knew the place well, went upstairs, and knocked on Lu Zijin’s bedroom door.

“Come in.

The door’s not locked.”

Lu Zijin said.

Doctor Lin pushed the door open and walked in.

 

Seeing her arrive, Lu Zijin said, “Come here.

Take a look at my little alpha.

See how serious the injury is.”

 

Doctor Lin pursed her lips but still carried her medical bag over and asked, “Where is she injured?”

 

Lu Zijin pushed Wei Lan’s face to the side, revealing the wound on the small gland.

“Her gland.”

 

Doctor Lin looked closer and gave Lu Zijin a disdainful look.

No, Lu Zijin usually seemed so proper.

How could she bite a little alpha like this?

So many teeth marks on the gland, and she had even broken the skin.

 

She quickly took out her medical bag and found a special anti-inflammatory medicine to apply to Wei Lan’s wound.

 

Wei Lan shrank her neck, afraid of the pain.

 

Lu Zijin coaxed softly, “Be good.

It won’t hurt after the medicine is on.

I’m sorry I used too much force.

Bear with it.”

 

She gently touched Wei Lan’s face, soothing her little dog.

 

Wei Lan then endured the pain and let the doctor apply the medicine.

 

Seeing Wei Lan looking so thoroughly bullied, Doctor Lin almost felt sorry for her.

What had Lu Zijin done to her?

The gland was bitten like this.

 

As she applied the medicine, she looked at Lu Zijin.

“This area is sensitive.

If you bite this hard every time, this little alpha won’t last long with you.”

 

Of course, Doctor Lin was exaggerating the severity.

Biting it open wasn’t a huge deal.

The main thing was that this girl was a blank slate, never even dated before.

And after just two days, her gland was already bitten open by Lu Zijin.

The poor little alpha.

“Got it.

I’ll be more careful next time.”

Lu Zijin rubbed Wei Lan’s head again to soothe her.

After all, she had finally found an obedient and well-behaved alpha.

She naturally planned to keep Wei Lan for the long term, since she had no intention of marrying anyone.

 

Doctor Lin applied the medicine and left.

Seeing that Wei Lan’s gland was injured, and even if it weren’t, the pheromones inside had been completely played away, Lu Zijin simply lay down on the bed, preparing to sleep.

 

She closed her eyes and sighed.

Was she paying too much attention to her little dog?

When she had first decided to keep Wei Lan, she had only planned to call her over when she felt unwell.

Now, after only knowing her for two days, they had slept together twice – far beyond her control.

 

Lu Zijin didn’t like feeling out of control.

She also reflected on herself.

These past two days, she had played too hard.

Her little dog was, after all, just a little dog – whether used as a tonic to alleviate her pheromone disorder or as a pet she kept.

She could only be her plaything.

She shouldn’t be this invested in a little dog.

 

She took a deep breath, feeling even more strongly that she shouldn’t become dependent on Wei Lan’s pheromones.

She hated feeling out of control, and she hated alphas who could control her.

Just in time, since Wei Lan’s gland was injured, she could use that as an excuse to keep some distance for a few days.

 

She had originally thought she would have Wei Lan add her on WeChat.

But now, it seemed better not to.

She was just a kept pet.

There was no need to be this invested.

Otherwise, it would give Wei Lan unrealistic ideas.

As a corporate CEO, she certainly wouldn’t get together with a little dog who had nothing.

 

While Lu Zijin was thinking these thoughts, Wei Lan was also looking at her.

She thought maybe tonight’s events had upset Lu Zijin, so she quickly leaned in.

“Sister, I’m fine.

Don’t be angry.”

 

Lu Zijin opened her eyes, her gaze noticeably cooler than usual.

She pushed Wei Lan away.

“Mm.

Go to sleep early.

I have a lot to deal with tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan pressed her lips together.

She had been about to ask if Lu Zijin wanted to sleep holding her, but seeing that her sister seemed unhappy, she didn’t say anything more.

 

Anyway, for her, just being with Lu Zijin made her happy.

 

The next morning, Lu Zijin got up without waking Wei Lan.

She simply called Zhou Xiao to take her to the company.

She would have the household staff wake Wei Lan later.

There was another driver at the villa who could take Wei Lan to school.

 

Her little dog had a soft personality and liked her very much.

Even if she cooled off a little, her little dog would still be very enthusiastic when she saw her again.

Besides, she gave her little dog 500,000 yuan a month.

Thinking this, Lu Zijin felt less guilty.

 

She paid money; Wei Lan paid pheromones.

It was a very fair transaction.

As for Wei Lan liking her, that was her own choice.

She wasn’t forcing her.

 

Wei Lan was woken up by the household staff.

She got up and dressed, saw that Lu Zijin was already gone, quickly washed up, and went to ask the staff where Lu Zijin had gone.

 

Told that Lu Zijin had already left, Wei Lan lost her appetite for breakfast.

Had she upset her sister last night?

Is that why she didn’t wait for her this morning?

 

The villa’s housekeeper, Zhang Ma, saw Wei Lan standing in the living room, at a loss, and quickly said, “Miss Wei, breakfast is ready.

President Lu said that if you need to go anywhere, just have the driver take you.”

“Did she say anything else?”

Wei Lan asked.

 

Zhang Ma smiled and shook her head.

“No.

Is there anything else you need?

You can tell us.”

“That’s all.

No need to trouble the driver.

I’ll just take a taxi.”

 

Wei Lan dazedly walked out of the villa district.

But the walk from the villa to the outside was quite a distance, at least a couple of bus stops.

 

Her neck still hurt, and her body had no strength.

But it reminded her that she had been with Lu Zijin last night.

Only, for some reason, she seemed to have made her angry.

 

Was it because she cried too much?

Or because she wasn’t tough enough, and Sister’s pheromones were gone after just a few bites?

 

Her mind was a mess.

She was afraid that besides her, Lu Zijin might also keep other alphas.

Thinking this, her eyes reddened.

 

She took out her phone, wanting to send Wei Ting a WeChat, but afraid Lu Zijin might think she was too clingy and not want her anymore.

 

After thinking for a long time, she put her phone away.

She took a taxi back to her apartment, grabbed her books for class, and went to school.

 

During class, Wei Lan could concentrate fairly well.

But as soon as class ended, she would listlessly stare at her phone.

 

Her friend Li Yan sidled over and patted her shoulder.

“What’s wrong with you?

Yesterday you looked like you were in love, and today you look like a deflated eggplant?

Did you break up after just one day?”

“I don’t know.

I think I upset her.

Suddenly, she became cold to me.”

Wei Lan lay on the table, dejected.

“Ah?

You’ve already fought, and you just got together?”

Li Yan asked, concerned.

Even though her friend being in a relationship made her teeth itch, she still wanted her friend to be happy.

“It’s not really a fight.

And we’re not really together.

Forget it.”

Her relationship with Lu Zijin was complicated.

Strictly speaking, Lu Zijin was her sugar mama.

 

Seeing she didn’t want to talk, Li Yan didn’t press further.

She thought for a moment and said, “Oh, in a couple of days, Master Ji is having a private exhibition of her jade carvings.

Too bad it’s only a private exhibition, otherwise you could go see it.”

 

Wei Lan also sighed.

Her sister had mentioned this exhibition before, but now that she had upset her, would her sister still take her?

 

Wei Lan didn’t hold out hope.

She listened attentively all morning, then planned to go home and carve jade.

 

Wei Lan ate a random lunch at the school cafeteria and went back to her small apartment.

She didn’t want to think about Lu Zijin anymore, so she forced herself to carve jade all afternoon.

It was effective; she didn’t think about Lu Zijin much.

 

But when she saw the sky was almost dark, she still couldn’t help but send a message to Wei Ting.

[Wei Lan: Hello, Assistant Wen.

I wanted to ask if Sister is angry with me?

Do I need to come over today?]

After sending it, Wei Lan’s face was a little pale.

She and Lu Zijin had already slept together, yet she didn’t even have her sister’s contact information.

 

Wei Ting received the WeChat and quickly knocked on Lu Zijin’s office door.

 

Lu Zijin’s mood wasn’t great today either, thinking about needing to distance herself from Wei Lan.

Hearing the knock, she replied flatly, “Come in.”

 

Wei Ting pushed the door open and quickly handed over her phone.

“President Lu, it’s a WeChat from Miss Wei.”

 

Lu Zijin’s expression turned cold.

She took the phone and looked.

Seeing her little dog had addressed her as ‘Assistant Wei’, her expression softened a little.

She then read the rest.

 

Lu Zijin thought for a moment, then typed a line.

[Wei Ting: Don’t overthink it.

President Lu has been very busy lately.

She’ll contact you when things settle down.]

Lu Zijin paused, then hit send.

She needed her little dog to understand that she should be available at her beck and call, but she shouldn’t be so attached to her little dog.

It wasn’t in line with her usual principles of dealing with people.

 

After sending it, Lu Zijin handed the phone back to Wei Ting.

“You may go.

Oh, and notify all departments to hold an impromptu meeting shortly.”

“Okay, President Lu.”

Wei Ting carefully left the office.

When the boss was in a bad mood, she liked to have meetings.

She was very sure that their President Lu was in a bad mood today.

Those executives were in for it.
